Starting with the strongest part of this headline, which is why should you change your mind at Consumer Reports? Well, it seems that many media have directly launched the attack on CR, after Apple with its vice president of global product marketing at the fore, commented that I would collaborate with CR to see the data obtained by Consumer Reports in the battery tests of the new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and this is the response of this media to all the commotion caused by it: Consumer Reports Will Not Rectify Data From Its MacBook Pro Tests and remains firm with the recommendation not to buy these equipment due to battery problems.
In any case what they say is that each user is free to buy or not the new MacBook Pro 2016, but the battery of these is really unpredictable in terms of autonomy and this can be a problem for the end user. The other issue is to know first-hand these tests carried out since they speak of a autonomy of 19,5 hours in a first test and this was going down until 3,75 hours. Holding them for almost 20 hours requires the same explanation as not arriving at 4 hours., so it is clear that this issue will continue to bring a queue in the coming days.
In any case, what they mean by this new message launched from CR is that they will not modify or repeat the tests already carried out on these Apple computers. The middle 9to5Mac has contacted CR for data from these tests and Maria Rerecich, Consumer Reports' director of electronics testing He has replied that there is no need to repeat the tests as they are fully verified and tested. Whether or not there are problems with the "last minute" battery design change, as has been rumored for a few days on the net, we do not know, what we are clear about is that the tests carried out do not seem to be bad but there are that clarify some points as well.
